INSTALL extends member warranty

[Las Vegas] The International Standards & Training Alliance (INSTALL) shared big news with its members and FCW at the Carpenters International Training Center here last month. According to INSTALL, its Warranty on Labor is now valid for two years and $10,000 — twice the length and dollar amount originally set when the Warranty Program was launched in 2013.

“Since we launched the INSTALL Warranty Program in 2013, the program has taken off. More installers are getting certified, more contractors are getting certified, and customers are noticing and considering the Warranty benefit when awarding jobs,” said INSTALL director John McGrath. “Because of the outstanding success of the Warranty’s first year, the Install Committee is doubling the standards of the Warranty coverage to two years and $10,000, effective immediately.”

Additionally, INSTALL offers a free, third-party, value-added installation guarantee on the work of its Certified Contractors for commercial and residential installations of carpet, resilient and hardwood. According to INSTALL, its Certification was created to identify INSTALL’s most dependable and skilled installers.

Leonard Zmijewski, president of Mr. David’s Flooring International, an INSTALL Certified Contractor who carries the Warranty, also spoke at the press conference.
“I lean on my INSTALL certified crew to get the work done quickly, but correctly. For us, the Warranty is a key addition to not just for our company’s bid proposals, but for the industry as a whole, because it forces the standards of installation to be increased,” he said.
